A book to belong in
A bedtime tale, a family adventure or a little everyday triumph. We agree the story, characters and illustrations with you, with page-turn reading and a PDF in mind.
Your Story · For grown-ups
Their names.
Your memories.
A story of your own.
Personalised books and songs, made for your family.
The muddy-boot adventures. The made-up kingdoms. The little things only you know. Let's turn them into something to treasure.

Made around your world
Not just their name
on somebody else's page.
A song to call their own
Bring your own original lyrics, or just a paragraph about the people and moments that matter. Names get a pronunciation check before the full song is made.
A bigger little world
Thinking of a series or a short film? Start with the idea. We'll discuss what is possible, agree a sample and scope the production before making a commitment.
From their first hello to their next big adventure
Little moments.
A lifetime of stories.
A family holiday. A birthday party. Christmas magic, a Halloween costume, a christening or naming day. Their first year, a first school day in a new uniform or a brave little achievement. From birth through childhood, we can help turn the memories you choose into a story to keep.

Our Little Lakeside Holiday
The teddy who came along. The funny thing Mum said. The drawing brought home in a backpack. See how little details become a story.
Read the four-page sample ↗A fictional illustrated example, not customer photographs or a full commissioned book.
Your photos. Your little details.
After we agree your project and private photo arrangements, you choose the pictures and memories. A treasured present, favourite comforter, family saying or handwritten note can be part of the story too.
Choose a photo-led keepsake, an illustrated adventure, or discuss a combination. We agree page count, proofs, digital delivery, any printed copies and a clear price before you decide.
Recognisably them. Or wonderfully imagined.
Their adventure.
Their kind of character.
Made for your family. Not the public catalogue.
Your story stays yours to share.
Commissioning a story does not add your family to our public books, characters or website. Private delivery and any use beyond your family are agreed separately. We use AI-assisted creative tools, with editing and review; we do not promise perfect likeness from a single generation.
The first little step
What shall we
make together?
Start with a short idea. We agree a written quote, what is included and a realistic timetable before you decide.
This optional builder prepares a draft on this page only. It does not submit to our website. Review it, then choose whether to send it using your own email app.
Prefer to write directly?
micky@mickai.co.uk
Please don't include photographs, surnames, school details, addresses or sensitive information. Initials or nicknames are fine at this stage. Email you choose to send is handled by us and our email provider.
How to write a name's pronunciation
Write how it sounds in familiar syllables. Use capitals for the strongest part. For example:
- Maya: MY-uh
- Niamh: NEEV (rhymes with leave)
- Betsy: BET-see
A written example is enough to start; no voice note is needed. You will still check a short audition before we make the full song.
